Arranging your own accommodation privately
Alternatively, you can arrange private accommodation independently (over 18s only). We recommend for the best student experience and to be able to fully engage with your studies that you live in Stockton-on-Tees or close-by.
It is important that you let us know where you are staying and there is a requirement that you live less than 60 minutes away from the International Study Centre at Queen’s Campus.
Please also refer to our 'Look out for fraud' section, which highlights the potential risks of booking accommodation privately.
Booking your accommodation
Your next steps for booking your room
It is important to arrange your accommodation before you arrive in the UK. Not only will this give you peace of mind that you know where you will be staying, this will ensure that you have no difficulty confirming your course at immigration or police registration (if required).
- Request accommodation when you apply for the International Study Centre.
- Confirm your place at the International Study Centre.
- The Central Student Support team will then contact you with information about the next steps you need to take to book your accommodation. If you applied directly through our online application form, your Student Enrolment Advisor will answer any questions you have about your accommodation options, the facilities offered and what you need to bring with you.
Please note, the accommodation options available may depend on your study start date. Once you have confirmed your place on the course – and have indicated on your application that you would like International Study Centre accommodation – we will contact you to advise you on the residences available to you.
Arrange your room
If you have any queries regarding accommodation availability and accommodation options, you can contact the Durham ISC Central Student Support Team who are available for any help or advice you may need.
Look out for fraud
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
